A neighborly nudge toward curiosity

Mr. Bell has never met the people next door, but that doesn’t stop him imagining what they might be like: perhaps they wear bowls as hats or walk backwards. The book uses these playful guesses to explore how quickly the unfamiliar can become a story in our minds. Its subject is the space between assumption and acquaintance, with curiosity and looking beyond first impressions at the heart of the premise. The picture-book setup also lends itself to sharing the imagined possibilities aloud, while keeping its focus on neighbors and community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

The people next door might be weird.

At least, that's what Mr. Bell thinks.

After all, he doesn't actually know them.

And when you don't know your neighbors, it's easy to imagine all sorts of strange things.

Maybe they wear bowls for hats.

Maybe they walk backwards everywhere.

Maybe they're even stranger than that.

Filled with humor, imagination, and surprising heart, The People Next Door Might Be Weird is a delightfully original picture book that celebrates curiosity and reminds readers that there's often more to people than meets the eye.

A memorable read-aloud for ages 4-8 that will have children laughing, guessing, and eager to turn the page.
